HsIaine's New Move.

New York special to the Cincinnati En-
auirer SAYS that after his trip to the West:
Tn June Mr.. Blaine will sal for Europe. All
the arrangements for that voyage have been
perfected Mr.. Blaine will remain abroad for
u year Mr.. Blaine will be abroad when the
next National Convention OF the Republican
party is in session.
The announcement OF this purpose of Mr.
Blaine to take a step that viii possibly clear
the cobwebs from the Republican field. aud
may, on the other hand, ouly create new films,
is likely to make q stir.
Mr. Blaine's friends says he is indifferent to
denomination, and has decided to 60 abroad
for SO long time for the purpose of indicat-
ing this indifference to his party followers.
He is quoted as expressing himselfas literally
slis2usted with the constant pressure that is
brought TO bear on him to accept the position
of an active candidate tor the nomination.
They declare that he will neither seek nor
avoid a nomination, and that ii it comes to him
no one will be able to say that it has been of
his seeking He will spend his time abroad in
studying labor problems social phases and
international problems. When he comes back
be will take the stump for the nominees OF
his party.
Republicans who are not friendly TO Mr..
Blaines denomination, who were told by the
reporters this morning of Mr.. Rlaines inten.
ton affected to believe that it was shrewd
bid for popular favor. A leading Republican,
who ID ciassed as a Mugwump, said: z Blaine
wants the denomination, but realizes that If il
comes to him by his own seeking it will be
even more worthless to him than in 1884. II
he could be abroad, and be nominated oyei
sherman, Allison. Hawley, Lincoln and 9th
ers, he thinks he would be in condition te
claim more nearly unanimous support than hs
had before. Besides, the prestige of foreign
trip would be q valuable adjunct to canvass
by his friends for the renominatioD. AL
though be will be out Of the country hil
friends feel strong enough to procure him tn
nomination without great effort. They nav
| already begun the quiet work of setting III
States, and will go at it more actively ans
openly after his departure. was told sofn'

States. The market prices of clean
rice IN the New Orleans market from
1860 to 1880 had wide range, viz: In
1860, 81 to cents per pound in 1865
to 1886, l2a to is cents per pound; in
1880, 5 and 6 cents per pound. Fancy
and choice goods are quoted as nominal.
The rice produced BY the small plant
ers of our parish, which in the aggre.
gate reaches large quantity is not
sheltered, is carelessly stacked until
threshed, and with wet weather and
poor handling reaches the market
stained in color and low in grade; when
with the exercise of care in keeping it
10 good condition after it had thorough
ly matured and had been we'll gathered,
it would rate choice and much of it
fancy. Our rice planters should be
more careful in gathering, shelteriDg,
and threshing their crops. They also
need more rice th.eshers, aud should
band together and buy improved reap
ers and binders that would take off
their crops iu few hours time and
thus escape the peril of losing their
crops by rainy season. The foregoing
statistical figures and market prices are
given to show our planters that there is
money in the production of rice. Un-
like cotton there is no danger of over
production and decline of remuuerative
prices, if they are only careful in hand
ling their crops and bringing them to
market in good condition.
In Japan, China, India, and the east
ern rice producing islands, rice is the
staple food of the people, and in the
population of the world there are more
of humanity that use rice than there is
that use bread from wheat -four. The
old nations and low wage working peo'
pie of the east have found out that rice
is the cheapest article Of food. That
while rice increases to eight times its
raw weight by cooking, wheat flour on
ly doubles. We will treat another
phase of this question i'll our next issue.
